DRIVING SAFELY
1) Dont turn the key while riding.
2) Check the bike when noise is heard during riding. Call for service from Aprilia authorized dealer if problems remain unsolved.
3) For the bycicle correct operation and for safety reasons we
suggest that it be used by only one person per time.
4) Dont overload or carry anything which obscure your view.
5) Dont ride when drinking.
6) Make sure the bycicle is in vertical position before you start
riding to avoid falling.

6)

7) Dont try to operate the dynamo with one leg, and pedal with
the other.This may cause danger or injury.
8) Dont pedal too hard when power assistance from motor is
deelining on a downhill run.
9) Avoiding riding the bycicle with an open umbrella in the rain.
10) Dont touch the motorkit after travel; the temperature could be
very high.
11) WARNING! The bike is provided with an electric safety system
that stops the electric assistance to prevent improper use.(For
example uphill riding using the highest gear and increasing too
much the uman pressure on pedal).

MAIN COMPONENTS
SHIFTING
Function and Operation/The Derailleur System
The word derailleur refers to the derailing or shifting of the
chain from one sprocket to another. The derailleur system includes rear derailleurs,the shift levers,and the cables. A variety of gear ratios allows you to maintain a constant rate of
pedal revolutions in spite of changes in terrain, climatic conditions and your physical condition.
Never attempt to shift gears when stopped or when back pedalling. When you shift, reduce your pressure on the pedals;
excessive chain tension makes shifting difficult. Avoid shifting
when going over railroad tracks or other bumpy surfaces,or
the chain may not shift properly and may come off.
The GRIP-SHIFT,Figure 4,are operated by GRIPSHIFT
control.right-hand GRIP controls the rear derailleur. Choose
the gear combination most comfortable for the road
conditions,and you should be able to maintain a constant rate
of pedalling. It is not essential that various gear combinations
be used in sequence.

B) Rear derailleur grip shift
C) Brake lever

Figure 4,Shift Levers Grip Shift

A properly adjusted drivetrain and derailleur system is quiet. If


an unusual noise accompanies or follows any shift, try moving the GRIPSHIFT slightly. If the noise persists or grows
louder, stop the bicycle and try to locate the noise. If
necessary,ask your aprilia dealer to identify and correct any
problems.

Cleaning and lubrication of the chain


Keep the chain as free of dirt as possible. After cleaning with a
chain cleaning set,allow the chain to air dry and then apply
the proper bicycle oil. Keep in mind that excessive oil on the
chain will attract more dirt.
Carefully apply oil only to the pivot points of each link.

Cleaning of the freewheel

Adjustment
Check that the derailleurs have been properly adjusted if:
- shifting is sluggish or difficult
- you hear a rubbing or grinding noise
- the chain rubs on any part of the bicycle or falls off during or
after a shift.
The rear derailleur (Figure 5) should be checked and adjusted
by your aprilia dealer first.
Removal of spoke protector may cause technical troubles.
Apply to an Authorized aprilia Service Center.

The freewheel should be kept as clean as possible. Remove


the surface dirt that gathers around the cog with solvent and
a brush. Do not use gasoline.
To clean and lubricate the bearings, remove the freewheel
unit from the hub.

WHEEL
Inspect your wheels frequently to make sure that there are no
loose,damaged,or broken spokes.
Remember:If a wheel is not in good condition, both the range,
the effectiveness of the brakes and the strength of the wheel
are greatly reduced.

Tire Inspection
Keep your tires inflated to the pressure molded on the tire
sidewalls.Use a gauge and a bicycle pump whenever possible.
Avoid filling your tires at gas stations; because of the greater
pressure and volume of air their pumps release,blowouts are
very possible.
When you fill your tires,check to see that each tire is properly
seated in the rim and that there are no defects on its surface.If
a tire shows signs of excessive wear, dry rot, or if it is badly
cut, replace it as soon as possible.

To ensure a safe and comfortable ride, please check the following


items before riding:

4) Check the brake function. Make


sure the aprilia wont move when
applying the brake lever to 1/2 of
the reach.

1) The range of a fully charged Aprilia battery under normal riding condition is approximately 25km~40km. However, the
range will vary depending on a variety of factors such as terrain, battery condition, tyre pressures, general conditions and
load of bicycle.

5) Check that the battery firmly located onto the bike.

CHECK-LIST BEFORE RIDING

2) Check that the charger has been


properly stored.

6) Check all the bolts tightening (seat,


wheels, steering set and handlebar stem).

3) Check that the seat been properly


adjusted according to the height
of rider.

7) Check the tyre pressures and inflate if necessary.

RECHARGING PROCEDURE
Recharging can be done either by plugging direct into the socket
located in the frame, or by removing the battery case and placing it
in the recharging equipment. Recharging time is about four hours.
For maximum economy,we recommend that you recharge at night
during off-peak hours.

2. Off-bike recharging
1) Park the bike
2) Turn the key to Open (Push and release first) and unpack
the battery case.
3) Oper the open cover pushing both sides.

1. Proper place for recharging

4) Pull the HANDLE to take out the battery case.


Warning! when pull-out the battery pay attention to dont
touch the led indicator.
5) Put the charger plug into the socket of the battery.
6) Verify that the voltage is the right one (FOR EUROPE 220V)

1). Indoor:Avoid high temperature and humidity.

2). Outdoor:Avoid sunshine or rain.

8) If the charger indicating led is not lit, it is abnormal. Please


check or call for service from dealer.
9) Recharging should not be undertaken under the following
conditions:
a) Immediately after riding,when the battery temperature has
risen. Please wait until the battery returns to its normal
temperature.
b) When the temperature of the battery is Over 35C (Ambient Temperature)
c) In an area where the temperature is below 0C. Please
find a warmer place.

10) When the indicating light of the re-charger turns from yellow to green color,it signals the re-charging has been done
fully. At this time, the electric current of the re-charger will
automatically become smaller and there will be no danger
even though the plug is still connected to the mains outlet.

Security

BICYCLE CARE
Storage
Improper storage is very hard on a bicycle.
1) Before storing your bike,clean and lubricate it.
2) Hang the bicycle off the ground,with the tyres at approximately half pressure.
3) Do not store near electric motors (ozone destroys rubber
and paint).
4) Before riding the bicycle again, be certain it is in good working order.
5) Batteries have to be charged every three months at
least,also when the bicycle is not being used.
This maintenance schedule is based on normal usage. If you ride
your bike more than average or in rain, snow, or off road conditions, you will want to go over your bicycle more often than the
schedule suggests. If any part appears to be malfunctioning, check
and adjust it immediately if you can do so yourself,or consult your
dealer.
Never ride any bicycle that is not operating properly.

2. Purchase a lock from a manufacturer that guarantees its
absolute effectiveness against bolt cutters and saws.
3. Never leave your bicycle unlocked.

Routine Maintenance
Keeping your bicycle properly maintained is extremely important.
Use the following maintenance notes and schedule as a guide to
complete care. You can do many of these operations yourself,but
